Recently there was a major change in the largest crypto-currency, Bitcoin. Due to disagreements over transaction speed vs. security the digital currency has split in two, with Bitcoin staying as it is, and Bitcoin Cash moving forward with a desire to increase transaction speed. Both are now live, which has begun to affect the value of both Bitcoin and its top competitor Etherium. The value of Etherium has seen its value increase with the uncertainty of its more popular rival.

It also might be a good time to make sure you are setup to run traditional credit card processing through a payment gateway and ensure you can still accept payments if your customers start moving away from crypto-currency.
